Synchronized Eruptions on Io: Evidence of Interconnected Subsurface Magma Reservoirs
A. Mura, R. Lopes, F. Nimmo +17
On December 27, 2024, Juno's JIRAM infrared experiment observed an unprecedented volcanic event on Io's southern hemisphere, covering a vast region of ~ 65,000 square km, near 73°…
Vertical and temporal H3+ structure at the auroral footprint of Io
A. Mura, A. Moirano, V. Hue +10
We report the first observation of the vertical and temporal structure of the H3+ emission at the auroral footprint of Io, as observed by Juno/JIRAM. The brightness vertical profil…
Analysis of Io's tidal response as a function of the properties of the partially molten layer
M. Paris, A. Mura, F. Zambon +11
Io's internal heat is generated by Jupiter-driven tidal dissipation and Laplace resonance. This energy partially melts the mantle, but the melt fraction, depth, and spatial distrib…
Radar evidence of subglacial liquid water on Mars
R. Orosei, S. E. Lauro, E. Pettinelli +19
The presence of liquid water at the base of the Martian polar caps has long been suspected but not observed. We surveyed the Planum Australe region using the Mars Advanced Radar fo…
